Prepping for a Flood of Heavenly Bodies
...this big data evolution is to teach the computer to take the outputs of the images, go through all those catalogs, and then find us a list of interesting things,...
Why the Many-Worlds Interpretation Has Many Problems

Three Biochemists Win Chemistry Nobel for Directing Evolution
...they have been able to make evolution many thousand times faster, and they have also been able to direct evolution to create proteins with new and useful properties.” According to...
How Nature Defies Math in Keeping Ecosystems Stable
...probably exchanging resources? At present, there is not much of a null hypothesis, according to Allesina. In a recent paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution, he and his collaborators asked...
